Much as I love Harbaugh, this is really a pretty big deal.  Tonight was on him, between the play calling and the lack of offensive development.  I thought Johnny played his heart out tonight.  But what does he have to work with?  What consistent capability does our offense have?  Beteen the OSU game last year and this game, the offensive failures a glaring in big games.

The offense is on Harbaugh.  We have no identity and do nothing well.  We have no alpha dog.  And the play calling reflects a total lack of confidence on Harbaugh's part.  Jim needs to do some real soul searching and do something to save the season.

...just kinda limited regardless, we don't have anyone a defense must account for. Evans has some nice jukes from time to time but if you get a hand on him he goes down. Isaac is is just a guy and I think Higdon is perhaps our most consistent. None is a factor in the passing game and all are just OK at blocking. It would've been the same with Wheatley as the coach IMO.

Even the hail Mary sucked. They had 7 defenders in the endzone vs 4 receivers. JBB passed up a rusher to the back and just stood there so JOK couldn't even step up into the throw.

If Speight is really out for the year I don't see the benefit of not trying Peters.

Has to be your bread and butter. Michigan has nothing g. They didn't throw it deep early when weather wasn't a factor. The backs fumble a lot. The line struggles to pass block. The backup Qb was one read and panic. It doesn't look good on offense and that is harbaughs thing. He needs to step in more or make some changes. He makes too much money to have the 50th best offense in the country. Don brown, doing work.

This game is 100% on coaching. They haven't had this team ready for the first half this season and this time it back fired with the weather. The momentum changed and then the downpour came. We shouldn't have been in that position at that point. If the weather didn't go to hell I'm convinced we win this game.

If he is that bad, why is he on the team then? Because if it is that much worse than what we witnessed tonight, then he probably isn't good enough for a scholarship. So give me a break. Put him in and let's see what happens. I can't stand to watch the JOK happy feet for another game.
